Philippe Rochat's FINITUDE is a rumination on time and self-consciousness. It is built around the premise that finitude and separation form the human self-conscious reality of time. It argues that we need to reclaim time from current theories in physics that tend to debunk time as an illusion, or state that time simply does not exist.This thought-provoking book considers how, from a human psychological and existential standpoint, time is very real. It examines how we make sense of such reality in human development and in comparison to other living creatures. The book explores how we represent time and live with it. It tries to capture the essence of time in our self-conscious mind. If we opt to live for as long as possible and knowing that it is going to end, how should we exist? FINITUDE contemplates this most serious psychological question. It considers the developmental origins of human subjectivity, the foundations of our sense of being alive and the explicit

Book SynopsisThis book explores the work of Cervantes in relation to the ideas about the mind that circulated in early modern Europe and were propelled by thinkers such as Juan Luis Vives, Juan Huarte de San Juan, Oliva Sabuco, AndrÃs Laguna, AndrÃs VelÃsquez, Marsilio Ficino, and GÃmez Pereira.The editors bring together humanists and scientists: literary scholars and doctors whose interdisciplinary research integrates diverse types of sources (philosophical and medical treatises, natural histories, rhetoric manuals, pharmacopoeias, etc.) alongside Cervantesâs works to examine themes and areas including emotion, human development, animal vs. human consciousness, pathologies of the mind, and mind-altering substances. Their chapters trace the cognitive themes and points of inquiry that Cervantes shares with other early modern thinkers, showing how he both echoes and contributes to early modern views of the mind.Table of ContentsForeword: Historicizing Cognitive Approaches to CervantesHoward MancingIntroduction: A Cognitive-Historicist Approach to Cervantes’s WorkIsabel Jaén and Julien Jacques-SimonSection I – Views of the Mind in Early Modern SpainChapter 1 – Spanish Brain Science and Philosophy of Mind in the Time of Cervantes: Three Seminal ThinkersAntonio Martín AraguzSection II – Feeling, Thinking, and Remembering in Humans and BrutesChapter 2 – Emotion and Human Development in Cervantes’s Don Quijote: The Case of Sancho PanzaIsabel JaénChapter 3 – Aging, Emotion, and Cognition: El viejo zeloso and Early Modern ThoughtElena CarreraChapter 4 – Human Thinking about Thinking Animals in the Early Modern Spanish and Spanish American WorldSteven WagschalChapter 5 – Wit, Imagination, and the Goat: The Untrodden Paths of Literary Creation in Cervantes’s Don Quijote and Huarte’s Examen de ingeniosChristine OrobitgChapter 6 – Cervantes and the Mother of the Muses: Views of Memory in Early Modern SpainJulia DomínguezSection III – Altered Minds: Causes, Effects, and RemediesChapter 7 – Melancholic Consciousness: Cervantes’s Contribution to Early Modern Views of Melancholy and the Emergence of the Fictional MindIsabel Jaén and Julien Jacques-SimonChapter 8 – Mind-Altering Agents in Cervantes’s Work: Regarding His Sources on PharmacologyFrancisco López-Muñoz and Cecilio ÁlamoChapter 9 – Don Quijote and Cervantes’s Knowledge of Neurological DisordersJosé-Alberto Palma, Fermín Palma, and Julien Jacques-Simon

Book SynopsisThis cutting-edge, yet accessible book provides a complete and integrated assessment of the role of emotions in a wide variety of cognitive functions. Including both empirical and theoretical works and debates, this book presents the results of research aimed at understanding how our emotions influence cognitive performance in diverse areas such as attention, memory, judgment, decision-making or reasoning, and emotional regulation. Drawing on years of research that has enabled psychologists to know when emotions have beneficial versus deleterious effects on cognition, the book explores the mechanisms responsible for these effects. Each chapter focuses on a specific cognitive function and is mirrored by a chapter examining the individual differences in the role of emotions on this aspect of cognition, and how this role changes during aging and in patients with mood disorders.Emotions play a central role in the life of every human being as they crucially guide Table of ContentsChapter 1 Emotion and Cognition: IntroductionChapter 2 Emotion and AttentionChapter 3 Emotion and Attention: Individual Differences, Aging, and PsychopathologyChapter 4 Emotion and MemoryChapter 5 Emotion and Memory: Individual Differences, Aging, and PsychopathologyChapter 6 Emotion, Judgment, Decision-Making, and ReasoningChapter 7 Emotion, Judgment, Decision-Making, and Reasoning: Individual Differences, Aging, and PsychopathologyChapter 8 Emotion RegulationChapter 9 Emotion Regulation: Aging, Individual Differences, and PsychopathologyChapter 10 Emotion and Cognition: Conclusion and Perspectives

Book SynopsisHealth Security Intelligence introduces readers to the world of health security, to threats like COVID-19, and to the many other incarnations of global health security threats and their implications for intelligence and national security.Disease outbreaks like COVID-19 have not historically been considered a national security matter. While disease outbreaks among troops have always been a concern, it was the potential that arose in the first half of the twentieth century to systematically design biological weapons and to develop these at an industrial scale, that initially drew the attention of security, defence and intelligence communities to biology and medical science. This book charts the evolution of public health and biosecurity threats from those early days, tracing how perceptions of these threats have expanded from deliberately introduced disease outbreaks to also incorporate natural disease outbreaks, the unintended consequences of research, laboratoTable of ContentsIntroduction: Health Security Intelligence: engaging across disciplines and sectors 1.

Book SynopsisSexual consent represents the willingness to engage in sexual behaviour with another person. This book presents a collection of research studies that sought to uncover intricacies related to how people experience, communicate, or perceive such willingness. Is consent sexy? To what extent are descriptions of nonconsensual sex discomforting? Do past instances of nonconsensual sex affect how people experience consent in subsequent relationships? Can you be willing to have sex but not want to? When two people go home together after a date, does that mean they are consenting to have sex? What roles do gender or sexual orientation play regarding sexual consent? Does consent matter for interactions with sex robots? These questions and more are the focus of the studies described within. The many nuances underlying a personâs willingness to engage in sexual behaviour emphasise that the process of sexual consent must be ongoing and requires mutual respect between those involved.NuancesTable of Contents1.

Book SynopsisBlending the latest academic research with case studies of famous figures, this highly insightful book presents doubt' as a central concept for psychology. It is a concept which has been oddly neglected in the past, despite its ubiquitous nature and far-reaching influence. Exploring everything from self-doubt and impostor syndrome to the weaponisation of doubt with respect to climate change and the marketing of cigarettes, bestselling author Geoffrey Beattie navigates readers through the various ways doubt can start and develop, changing the individual in the process. Written in Beattie's distinctive and engaging style, Doubt takes the reader into the lives of transformational thinkers, artists, scientists and writers to explore how and why doubt was crucial in their lives and how the likes of Kafka, Jung, Picasso and Turing succumbed to doubt or learned to control it. Beattie argues that doubt is central to the self; it can be either a safeguarding mechanism or a distTrade Review"This is one of the most brilliant books I have ever come across. Its aim is to address the question of what is doubt, not directly in any circumscribed definitional standard, but by examining the powerful role it has had (and continues to have) in human life. To do so, Geoff Beattie takes the reader on a narrative journey into the minds of some of the greatest writers and scientists of history tin order to cast light on how their doubts shaped their creative and scientific accomplishments. He also looks at how doubt is harnessed maliciously to spread conspiracy theories about such things as climate change. Written in his usual accessible narrative style – let us not forget that Beattie is also an accomplished novelist as well as a distinguished psychologist – this book will be hard to put down. Its implications for grasping who we are as a species – we are the only species that possesses doubt – and for harnessing or counteracting its enormous power of control over human life, make it a must read for everyone."Marcel Danesi, PhD, FRCS, Professor Emeritus of Anthropology, University of Toronto, Canada"Beattie brilliantly illustrates the science of doubt with fascinating case studies from doubters like Kafka, to non-doubters like Picasso and how it can be addressed therapeutically, as in Brendan Ingle’s boxing gym in Sheffield."Brian Butterworth, Professor Emeritus of Cognitive Neuropsychology, University College London, UK"Geoff Beattie has written a brilliantly entertaining book about the little considered phenomenon of doubt, focusing mainly but not exclusively on self-doubt. Part memoir, part an examination of the psychology of doubt, and part an examination of the role of doubt (or lack of it) in the lives of key historical figures – Jung, Kafka, Picasso, Ernest Dichter (a psychoanalyst who devoted his talents to promoting the consumption of cigarettes) and Alan Turing – the book offers a wide-ranging and unique appreciation of the importance of doubt in individual minds and in human affairs."Richard Bentall, PhD, FBA, Professor of Clinical Psychology, University of Sheffield, UKTable of ContentsAcknowledgements 1.

Book SynopsisThis book brings together the study of self-reflective fiction and the contemporary 4E theories of cognition in order to challenge existing cognitive-theoretical models and approaches to literary phenomena. Polvinen presents reflective attention on artifice as an integral part of engagement with fictional narratives, rather than as an external viewpoint that would obscure immersive experiences. The detailed analyses included are both of traditionally metafictional texts by John Barth, A.S. Byatt, Dave Eggers, and Ali Smith, as well as of speculative fictions by Ted Chiang, China Miéville, Christopher Priest, and Catherynne M. Valente. Each of the chapters focuses on a specific issue of fictional cognition: on metaphorical representation, spatiality, temporality, and fictionality. As a whole, the book argues that by combining a literary and theoretically complex view of artifice with the enactive paradigm of perception and imagination, practitioners of cognitive literary studiTrade ReviewMerja Polvinen’s Self-Reflective Fiction and 4E Cognition productively challenges the idea that immersion in narrative involves losing awareness of literary form.

Book SynopsisThis book introduces a comprehensive and integrative collection of psychological intergroup interventions. These evidence-based interventions are scientifically established and tested in several real-world contexts of intergroup animosities and tensions, from prejudice and inequality reduction to peace promotion. Intergroup hostility, violence, and discrimination have become more and more prevalent in recent decades. To address this challenge, recently, social scientists have shown an increasing shift from a descriptive to a more interventionist science, developing evidence-based interventions to improve intergroup relations. For the first time, this book includes research on intergroup interventions and their applications to the field, from a global collection of leading voices in the discipline. It also includes a conceptualization of intergroup interventions, a typology of different types of interventions, as well as a guideline for effective development of intergroTable of ContentsList of ContributorsPrefacePart 1: Psychological Intergroup InterventionsChapter 1: Reducing Prejudice through Intergroup Contact InterventionsRebecca Littman, Alexandra Scacco, and Chagai WeissChapter 2: Redrawing the boundaries: Creating positive intergroup relations interventions through shared values, memberships, and identitiesDanielle Blaylock, Rhiannon N.

Book SynopsisThis unique book explores how the conceptual framework of science and technology studies can be applied to creativity and problem-solving research, drawing from and building on the work of Bruno Latour. Using an interdisciplinary approach, the book outlines new research practices to capture the origin of ideas. Latour enjoins researchers to adopt a resolutely ethnographic methodology to trace the process by which a creative product, be it a technological innovation or a work of art, is constructed, or instaured. Creativity is explained in terms of the microprocesses that guide and constrain the development of a new idea. These microprocesses operate on and are triggered by material objects, be they maquettes, models, drafts or data representations. The resulting perspective is systemic, casting creativity as emerging from the interaction among heterogenous elements and actants. The book provides critical reflections on problem-solving research and stresses the importance of WTable of ContentsPreface Le Redoutable: Retracing Creativity and Innovation Confluence Ideation Ground Zero The World of the Mind Insight Out System of Creation Afterword: Pragmatism and Pure ExperienceReferences

Book SynopsisHow many words do we use in a day? How many of them are actually necessary to convey the flow of our thoughts? And how many could we do without, if we were to fast, abstain from using words? This book examines the power of words. It explores the links between communication, language and identity, arguing for a certain gravity to the practice of speech, for offering only meaningful words to the people we talk to.We are the words we hear and utter, we are the words we think, and Anna Lisa Tota invites us to use eco-words to change the world we live in: This book is a proposal to myself and to you, dear Reader, an invitation to change together: while you read and while I write, bridging the temporal and spatial gap that separates us and makes it impossible for us to help each other.This volume will appeal to readers interested in the everyday practice of communication. It will also be useful to scholars and students of sociology, emotion, memory, body studies, philosophy,Trade Review"Anna Lisa Tota's volume, Eco-Words: The Ecology of Conversation, offers a perspective, or rather, a multisensory perception that penetrates the different layers of natural, social, and individual reality. It captures the subtle complexity of tacit correspondences, interrelations, and references of meaning. The multiplicity of perspectives and levels of analysis in this volume corresponds to an approach that reveals the permeability of distinctions and the inadequacy of rigid and unidimensional categorizations in the critical understanding of both objective and subjective reality."Ludovica Malknecht, Università Europea di Roma, Italy.

Book SynopsisThis book combines approaches from philosophy, psychology, and neuroscience in the study of perception. In addition to appealing to readers from all three of these disciplines, Perception: The Basics is a perfect introduction for students and general readers. Its interdisciplinary coverage of all aspects of perception does not require familiarity with either abstract philosophical concepts or neuroscientific knowledge. Besides addressing the classic questions of how perception works, the book highlights the intricate connections between perception and action as well as perception that is not triggered by sensory input, like mental imagery, dreaming, and hallucination. Further, the book balances out an overemphasis on vision in the literature by giving almost equal coverage to all the sense modalities (although some examples are easier to present in visual form).Questions that are discussed in detail include: What is the function of perception? Table of Contents1. What is Perception? 2. The Variety of Senses 3. Perception and Cognition 4. Perception and Action 5. Perception without Input 6. Aesthetic Perception

Book SynopsisThis book asks where ideas, objects and feelings come from and how they arise via an exploration of the nature of subjective experience and its relation to the world. Seeking an explanation for the experience of subjective duration and the present and in contrast to the conception of mental events as non-temporal logical solids, it explores a diachronic processual theory founded on psychological data and clinical observation that provides an explanatory âœsystemâ of thought adequate to the phenomena it is called on to explain. The author focuses on the intra-psychic sources and nature of subjective experience, with the intent of examining a variety of phenomena from the standpoint of microgenetic theory. The chapters deal with the origins of human subjectivity and the epochal nature of time and duration, change and the relevance of a theory of the mental state to dream and the waking present. Based on speculative psychology that flows from case studies in neuropsychology and concepts in process philosophy, it advances a theory of mind and brain that brings together previous, fragmentary research studies on this topic.
